Crossposted on Substack and the EA forum.

Gergő from ENAIS here with this month’s updates! Please consider forwarding this email to other community builders who you think could benefit from reading, or encourage them to sign up!

0. Announcement: The newsletter has moved to Substack!

crossposted on the EA forum: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/EwdgPJfeieCxe4cxa/help-us-seed-ai-safety-brussels
